(Y/N) squeaks as the door slides open, and the two jump away from each other.

"Am I interrupting something?" Tanjiro says jokingly as he peers round the door at the two, their faces bright red. They shake their heads, and Inosuke scratches the back of his neck. The red head chuckles slightly before opening his mouth to speak again.

"Inosuke, we're starting rehabilitation training. And (Y/N), you have a visitor!" He grins before leaving, and she tilts her head slightly. A visitor? A girl bursts in the room with her arms full- and she gasps.

"(Y/N)-chan!" She exclaims, and she recognizes the voice. Mitsuri comes dashing over to the girl with a concerned look on her face, and she drops everything on her hands onto the bed.

"What happened to you!?" She yells in concern as she brings the h/c head towards her chest in a tight embrace. Inosuke watches the two with a small smile on his face, but he was also somewhat jealous. Why didn't (Y/N) touch him like that? Just the thought made him pout, and she noticed this. She breaks away from Mitsuri's tight embrace and she gestures to Inosuke with her good hand.

"Mitsuri...this is Inosuke" She says, and the pink haired girl immediately begins clapping her hands. She rushes over to him and clasps his shaky hands between her own as she beams at him. He looks up at her with a blush on his face, causing (Y/N) to giggle from her place on the bed.

"Lovely to meet you! I'm Kanroji Mitsuri, but you can just call me Mitsuri! I hope you're treating my (N/n)-chan well" She grins, and he grumbled slightly. He wasn't used to this much attention all in one go.

"Mitsuri you're overwhelming the poor boy" She giggles as Mitsuri gasps and bows in front of him. He looks at (Y/N) with pleasing eyes, only adding to her giggle fit. However as she takes in a breath too deep to continue laughing, she feels pain course through her chest.

"Shit" She hisses, and they both look at her in concern. Inosuke reaches out for her hand which she graciously accepts. Mitsuri watches the two with a smile on her face as she starts digging around in the bag she brought.

"Ahhh, young love" She grins as she pulls out cream cakes, and (Y/N) splutters and Inosuke squeezes her hand. What's love? Just as he was about to ask, Tanjiro leans in the doorway once more.

"Sorry to interrupt, miss! But Inosuke, you're really needed at the Rehabilitation training" The maroon haired boy says apologetically, and Inosuke grumbles to himself slightly. He quickly places a kiss on the h/c haired girls forehead and he rushes after the boy. He'd have to ask him what this 'love' thing was.

--------------------------------------------------

(Y/N) sighs slightly as the two girls munch on the cream cakes. She made sure to save a bunch of stuff for Inosuke later, he'd probably adore them. The pink haired girl finishes up her treat, and her lime green eyes look over the girls body. She was pretty battered up, there was no denying that. Her arm was in plaster and a sling, whilst one of her legs was also plastered. Luckily it turns out she hadn't broken both legs in the end, so the other one only needed a bandage.

"How on earth did this even happen?" Mitsuri asks as she looks the girl dead in the eyes. Did she fight an upper moon? Did one of her team sacrifice her? She gulps as she looks down in her blanket covered lap.

"My attack went wrong. I tried to use the seventh form for love breathing... I was in trouble I promise! But the demon was too strong and it flung me away" She explains quietly. In all honesty, the girl was feeling quite ashamed of herself. If she had of just held back for one second she wouldn't have been in this shape, and she would have been able to help the others continue their fight.

Mitsuri can sense this and she places her hand over the girls protectively.

"There's no need to be ashamed. You thought as hard as you can" Mitsuri coos as the girl begins to tear up. She shakes her head as the tears begin to roll down her face.

"No! If I had of thought properly, Inosuke wouldn't be as injured as he is. Apparently his windpipe got damaged, and it's my fault" (Y/N) sniffs and Mitsuri pulls her into a hug. Stroking the girls hair, she lets her cry for a moment. There was no need to hold emotions in- everyone experiences them.

"Don't be silly! I may not know him well, but I can tell he'd be angry if he heard you say that!" Mitsuri says in a determined voice, and she giggles at this.

"He probably would have head butted me" She laughs through tears, and the pink haired girl shakes her head as she joins in the laughing fit. Breaking away from the hug she places her hands on the girls tear stoned cheeks, and she smiles softly.

"You care about him a lot...don't you" She whispers, and the girl blushes. She'd be lying if she said she didn't. He made her feel so safe and secure, and like she actually had people that care about her. Everytime he touched her she felt butterflies in her stomach, but she had pushed away that feeling until now. The look on the girls face was all Mitsuri needed to know. She simply nods, and she quickly boops the girls nose.

"Well...now that I know how soppy you actually are. What happened to your hair! You leave the house with it down to your chest, and now it's short!" Mitsuri exclaims as she waves her hands in the air, causing (Y/N) to giggle once more.

--------------------------------------------------

Inosuke walks behind the red headed boy with his hands balled into fists. It was annoying him that he didn't know what this whole thing about love was, and he grumbles. Tanjiro turns around to look at the boy, concern in his wine coloured eyes. Inosuke huffs behind his mask, causing the boy to tilt his head.

"What's up?" He asks, causing the boar headed boy to flail his hands. He pulls Tanjiro aside and he puffs out his chest, pointing a finger at him.

"Monjiro! I need to ask you something" He says through a confident voice, and Tanjiro nods his head.

"My name's Tanjiro! Tan-ji-ro, but ask away" He smiles, only riling Inosuke up more. He would have head butted the boy there and then, but (Y/N) probably wouldn't be happy if he did. He looks down at his hands before taking a deep breath.

"So um...what is uh, love?" Inosuke asks awkwardly, causing the red head to chuckle. He couldn't tell, but Inosuke was sending him daggers behind his mask. The boy places a hand on his shoulder before looking at him with kind eyes.

"Love is a really special feeling that you feel with special people. You want to protect this person, and you want to spend the rest of your life with them" He explains, and Inosuke feels his emerald eyes widen.

"Oh! I get that! I also get this weird fucking feeling in my tummy, like I'm hungry but butterflies are flying around in there!" He exclaims, and Tanjiro claps his hands.

"That's also love!" The boy says excitably back. Inosuke...was in love with her?
